stuart: why is michigan doing this? i am told it is because neighboring indiana became right to work and attracted a whole bunch of jobs and michigan is jealous so they want to fall in line. is that the reasoning? >> right to work has been kicked around in michigan for decades. when indiana went right to work michigan took a look at that and said right to work states have lower unemployment, bigger population growth, bigger wage growth and when you factor in cost of living they have higher wages. we have to do something to compete because our neighbor next door is doing right to work and they attract business and we want those businesses to stay here so indiana going right to work probably played a big part of lawmakers's decision to give workers freedom to choose. stuart: are we dead certain that the governor will sign it in michigan? >> the governor said he would sign it at the beginning of his administration. said it wasn't on his agenda. last week he said was. yesterday at a press conference the senate majority lead
